A Bent Piece of Wood

Love

So misunderstood

Twisted, warped

A bent piece of wood

Get it all

Get it now

On every billboard

Our golden cow

Let's call it what it is

Lust

Infatuation

I'm choking on the dust

Broken hearts

Broken homes

Breaking people

All alone

So far

From what is real

Because love is more

Than what you feel

Everyone gets

A little lost

But if you want real love

It's in the shape of a cross.

Carousel

I'll be okay tomorrow

But right now I want to be mad

I've kept it in too long

And it's eating at me bad

I'm sick of being lied to

I'm sick of being used

I've been there through your pain

But now you leave me bruised

There were so many times

I could have walked away

You would have made it easy

But I have always stayed

Maybe I'm too stubborn

Or just don't know when to quit

But maybe there's something bigger

Something you can't admit

I know you don't mean it

It just happens when you fall

You're blinded by your hurt

You don't see me at all

So I'll forgive you in the morning

When my anger fades away

We'll go on just like always

But I'll be mad for today.
